Unfortunately, I can't find a video of it, so it must have happened so long ago that it cannot possibly be the impetus for this rule.

I distinctly remember one year in the baseball LLWS when one of the Asian teams was doing that. And, you're right, they were waving their arms being incredibly obvious to the point the talking heads were noticing it along with everybody else. But, like you surmised, that was several years ago, and probably not the motivation for their current rule.

Giving the finger in uniform in a dugout is perfectly OK. Right.

Why not? Just what does it mean anyway and what authority gave you that information?

It is a perfect case of behavior control that does nothing but prove Ivan Pavlov's theory was correct.

A word is just a word, a gesture is just a gesture and has no more power than what you provide it. If you get offended by such a thing it is because YOU chose to be offended.

But still not the point. The violation was posting it in a social media environment and only one person did that, not six

So if someone commits an act only the reporter is guilty?

If the reporter was the one breaking the rules, absolutely.

event: AYBTour Boys' and Girls' National Basketball Championship Tournament.


I was there to officiate. The teams were housed in the dorms on campus. The boys' tournament was played first.

The boys' teams were in the process of moving out of the dorms and the girls' teams were in the process of moving in to the dorms with the girls' tournament to start the next day.

I do not remember where this particular girls' team was from, but the previous year this team had won the girls' national championship at the 8th grade age group and had made it back to the nationals and was the favorite to win the 9th grade national championship.

During the move out and move in process the entire girls' team flashed members of some of the boys' teams that were standing on the side walk in front of the dorm. The girls' team was disqualified from the tournament before even playing a game.

That is hilarious and sad at the same time.
